Daniel Craig stars in GoldenEye remake

Daniel Craig is back as James Bond in GoldenEye. Well, sort of. It may have been fifteen years today that the 17th official James Bond film, GoldenEye was released in the UK, with Pierce Brosnan making his debut as 007, but that hasn’t stopped video game publishers Activision recruiting another Bond to star in a big budget remake.

Daniel Craig has been hired to star alongside GoldenEye’s Judi Dench in a ‘reimagined’ take on the N64 classic, complete with a new version of the title sequence from Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger. The game was released a few weeks ago and has already had a pretty positive response from gamers and Bond fans around the globe.

Now, all we need is a new game featuring Timothy Dalton as 007 to help make up for the loss of a third movie starring his Bond, and all will be right with the world.

Take a look at the video below to hear the first words from Craig as Bond in two years and to see his take on Brosnan’s bungee jump which we saw at the start of the original GoldenEye.
